Lab Results: Field Grown Kanna Leaf, Report PHY-2026-786 (1.14 mg/g Total Alkaloids)

Third post in the Lab Results series, and the first one on raw plant material instead of an extract. This is our field grown kanna leaf, sold as loose leaf. The report is the newest one on our page.

Leaf versus extract

If you read the first two posts you saw totals of 6.14% and 5.17%. This one is 0.114%. That is not a typo and it is not a bad batch. It is dried leaf, not a concentrated extract, and our growing and drying process is what it is. An extract is made by pulling the alkaloids out of a lot of leaf and concentrating them into a little powder. Raw leaf has whatever the plant grew. A fifty-fold difference between leaf and a strong extract is the kind of gap you should expect.

Reading the four lines

This report has all four alkaloids above the quantitation limit, which makes it a clean example of a full panel. Mesembrine 0.0435%, mesembranol 0.0327%, mesembrenone 0.0342%, delta-7 mesembrenone 0.0039%. Notice the lab printed four decimal places here instead of two. When the numbers are this small, two decimals would round most of them to 0.03 or 0.04 and hide the differences, so the lab reports more digits.

In raw leaf the three main alkaloids are closer to each other in size than they are in our extracts, where mesembrine dominates. That is a feature of the plant material, not of the test.

How the total is computed

0.0435 plus 0.0327 plus 0.0342 plus 0.0039 equals 0.1143, which rounds to 0.114%. To get mg per gram, multiply percent by 10: 0.114% is 1.14 mg of total alkaloids per gram of leaf. The lab prints both so you do not have to do the math, and because mg per gram is the unit most people find easier to picture for leaf.

The sample ID

20261003-4461 encodes the intake date, October 3, 2026, and a running sample count. The completion date on the card is October 2, 2026. The card is reporting the dates as printed on the certificate, so if the ordering looks odd to you, open the lab's share page below and read the dates there directly.
